The Democratic Republic of Prevaland is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Athan Bley with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.118 billion Prevalandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prevalent City. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prevalandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,614 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 136,753 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is proudly free of crabs, travelers praise airports for their endless beige corridors, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prevaland's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Prevaland is ranked 9,768^th in the world and 481^st in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 428.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
